Edit screen i VM admin not working right

[knutmw]

Hi

First of all here is the verson number

VM: 2.0.10
Joomla: 2.5.6

I am trying to help somebody, that have upgraded from VM:2.0.02 to VM:2.0.10
Thay have also installed some language packs. This i have removed until we figure out the problem.

The problem is that when I in administrator site is trying to edit a product or changing a catagory. The site display all wrong.

Looks like all formatting av the layout not there, and the main edit window now showing at all. This is happening when i try to edit at product or a category Or trying to chage store settings. Same error.

Is there anybody out there that have some tips for me to figure this out?

I am new to joomla 2.5 and Virtuemart 2.0 I am normaly working in joomla 1.5 and Virtuemart 1.1.9

So  i hope to get som pointers om how to fix this.

Hope to here from somebody soon, since its a live site at those i am helping having some problems using it.
I know that they shoulnd upgraded a live site, but that is the case here i am afraid.

See attachment !!

Looks like a bad installation - what is the PHP version?   

Make a copy with Akeeba and install in localhost (or a subdirectory of the server) and reinstall the 2.0.10 VM component and the 2.0.10 AIO component over the files that are there using Joomla's extension installer. It will not wipe the database/images etc.

The php verson is 5.3.3-7+squeeze14

Is it posibel to downgread it?

At the moment i only have access to administator site. No ftp og DB connection.

Akeeba is the backup tool right?

Cant find the Akeeba too in admin, is this a compnent i have to download and install?

Sorry for this dumb questions but it my first day looking av virtuemart 2 and joomla 2.5 normaly work on virtuemart 1.1.9 and joomla 1.5

Tryed installing the virtuemart 2.0.2 and then upgrade again to 2.0.10 still same problem.

As i was told he upgreaded from the verson 2.0.2 to 2.0.10 last week. and when i tryed to edit product today he could not get in.
As you can see from the attachment.

Same issue show up when trying to edit a category or changing shop settings.

Can it be som premission setting ? Looks like when the site is going to "edit" mode it's not working.

Hi,

Bad installation i suppose as jenkinhill mention. Try download from the above link the tar.gz files and upgrade manually from extension manager... be sure that you will upgrade both AIO and VM core. First take a full backup using akeeba, try also to install on local host xammp or wamp (PHP 5.3.x).

Get Akeeba from https://www.akeebabackup.com/  - it is the only really essential tool for all Joomla users

[knutmw]

Hi

I have tryed installing the  tar.gz file set. The instalation goes good. But still the same error.

Can it be a language problem? The owner of the site installed norwegian language files also?

Tryed installing them also from the beginning no error there also.

I am just not verry well knowen inside joomla 2.5 and virtumart 2.0

Is there anybody there that can help me look inside the admin site?

Akeeba is installed, and backup taken.

[knutmw]

When clicking a product i get this url.

www.mysite.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=product&task=edit&virtuemart_product_id=7514&product_parent_id=0

It there something worng with the URL? Witch files are loaded to show this site? Witch files containing the "problem"

Tryed downgrading now to 2.0.8e but no luck whit that. Stile same problem. Dosen't matter what i do. I have tryed

2.0.2
2.0.4
2.0.8c
2.0.8e
2.0.10

Have noe upgraded joomla to 2.5.7

Still same problem.

O my god its frustrating. Can it be a DB error?

Can it be something else than upgrade issue? Since it's same problem anyhow?

Hi,

Can you take a backup with akeeba and try it locally with xampp or wamp and PHP 5.3.1?

Could you take a look inside joomla error log file?

[knutmw]

I am starting to get frustrated over this problem now.

We have put in an older backup of all files that worked at the time i was in use.

We have put in an older backup of the database that worked at the time.

Still same error.

We are now back to
Joomla 2.5.6
VM 2.0.2

Joomla error log says noting intersting about what can be this problem. Only a bunch log inn errors

The site get blank with only the left meny when clicking on this menus in virtuemart.

- When clicking on a product to edit it. Standing in the product menu
- When clicking on a product to edit it. Standing in the inventory menu
- When clicking on a category name to edit it.
- When clicking on a manufacture to edit it
- When clicking on shop to edit shop details
- When clicking on a shopper feilds to edit
- When clicking on a order status feild to edit

Everything else is working like it should.

So what can cause this problem all of a sudden?

Hopeing on some great suggestions :-)

Did you try that?

May be there are issues with your server configuration made by your hosting provider. Please try it a local installation. As you mention, you are not even have access with ftp, so may be the vm installation never took place on the right way!!

Hi

I have now every possibel access to the site i am testing.

I have FTP, SQL, controll panel and administror access to the site. The backup placed back on the server was an working one 2 weeks ago.

Have now just tested i local as you told me to do. Downloaded an akeeba backup file installed it local and tested
Ist the same there.

So i realy don't know anything more than this have to be something verry strange?

Where is it most possibel the error is?

IS it the php verson? is it in the SQL database?
Is it in some of the php files?

The local site is haveing this configuration

PHP 5.4.7
DB verson 5.5.27

If you want me to test with different php versons how do i change them on XAMPP?

[knutmw]

Can this be a language issue?

When looking inside the DB tabels i see virtuemart products tabels

And i see that there are 2 tabels one for norwegian and on for english.

All the norwegian ones is empty.

The administrator site and the main site i set to english. So it should reffer to that language, but was thinking it can be somethinge here? Since this is somehow related to where the errors take place?

Hello,

I am suggesting PHP 5.3.x, 5.4 is very new and joomla itself has issues. Also try from the backend under tools->tools and migration-> install tables and if necessary update them

[knutmw]

How to change the php verson on the local server? XAMPP v3.1.0

Tryed the utdate tabel in admin on the online shop, didn't work. Going to test i localy now, when i can change the php verson.
